Slight chest pain, slight cold symptoms.

[RupertFranklyn]

I have been vaping for about a week and a half now and have been fine up until this morning. And all after trying a new e-juice. I think I made a mistake by ordering 80/20 VG/PG. Its much thicker than the juice I started with(unknown vg/pg). I vaped this new stuff for the first half of yesterday until my lungs just didn't feel right, and switched back to my original juice for the rest of the day. After these symptoms go away I will be cutting the heavy VG juice with Everclear, then give it another go. Anyone have any other advice for any part of this post?...future ration(vg/pg), anyone every have similar situation or reactions?
Thanks,
-Rob

Vaping high levels of VG has been known to cause a heavy feeling in the chest that goes away after you stop vaping it. Some people aren't affected by it at all.

Cut back on the VG and see if that helps.

Thought the heavy VG might have something to do with it. Once this goes away I'm giving that a try.

Given a choice when ordering, I think a lot of people use 70PG/30VG. I personally stick with 80PG/20VG. I favor flavor over vapor, but I do like vapor which is why I don't do all PG.

Halo Torque 56 does that to me. I feel like I have bronchitis after a day of vaping it.

I guess its all part of the process in trying to find your own individuality in vaping. I love the large vapor production from VG. I will try a 70/30 maybe.

Hope you get a mix thats good for you. I like 50/50 for the vapor, and I get good flavor too, I am not a big fan of 80pg 20vg because its too runny and floods the atty way easy.

I would imagine that 80pg 20vg would be way too little vapor as well as runny.

I have used 80/20 juices and notice that I don't get chest pains but I do feel like my chest gets a bit heavy and sometimes I get very acute cold like symptoms if I vape it for a long time. So I started using 50/50 juices since and have been fine i might even do 70pg/30vg with no problems. I think that 50/50 gives you the best of both worlds. But just like flavor being suggestive I believe that juice blends are the same thing. Everyone likes this mix ratio or that mix ratio. I would suggest to see if your symptoms are relived buy trying other ratio mixes that are available.
